In my produce total, I am counting my sliced almonds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and quinoa, since that is the section where they are located. This makes up roughly 40% of my grocery run. I know that I'll have to go back mid week for more fruit and lettuce. Sigh... On a brighter note. My seed catalog came today. So, relief is on it's way.

Your poll regarding how much I spent on produce had me wondering. So, I looked at my receipt today and here is the breakdown:

Is this weekly? And to feed how many people? There are 3 in my family (DH, Jordyn who is 2 1/2, and myself) and I spend roughly $100 a week, rarely more. About 60% of that is produce... granted, I've now learned that produce is really cheap here after reading that last thread.

Yes, that is weekly. There are five of us, but one of those is a teenage boy who has teenage boy friends. It is frightening the amount of food that they consume. Of course, my 8 y/o downed a quart of strawberries and a pint of blueberries yesterday. She's my healthy eater, but now I'll have to go bak out and get more to make my pancakes and smoothies.

In the nicest way that reminds me of my mom. Her grocery bill went way up from just me and her when I always had friends over, mostly guys but she always said it was worth it for knowing where we all were.

We spend a lot on produce, too. I have to go back to Costco today - for apples, bananas, asparagus, grapes & spinach. And pears. Yum. :)

I was just there on Thursday. Our produce lasted 3 days, then. Three.

I have had company for the last 11 days straight, but still. We go through a lot of produce. A lot. We go through a tub of organic spinach every 3 or 4 days. Bananas - gone in 2 days. 16 organic apples from Costco lasts us less than a week.

Teenagers and friends eat a lot. :)

Just at Costco Sat morning! I bought 2 of the 16 pack Organic Apples (their organic apples are by far the best I have ever tasted). 2 bags of the bananas....SO CHEAP! 2 of their pineapple....Their pineapples are huge! Organic baby carrots...we go through those like crazy...I bought 2 of their giant bags. It is seriously so much cheaper to buy their organic produce in bulk.

OK. I will make a point to Costco this week. It is about a 45 minute drive, but I am curious to see if it will save me money. Do they have organic grapes. My store quit carrying them. I can't make myself eat regular ones - they taste like they are chalk-coated. Nasty.

I'll go back again as well. I made a double-batch of granola bars. Gone. Strawberries - gone. Blueberries - gone. Iceburg lettuce (I have to have something crunchy on my sammies) - gone. Yogurt - almost gone. Honey Tangerines - gone. Sigh... I think that I was better off not knowing.

You should. In about 10 years, that little boy will be eating you out of house and home. We wont even talk about how fast they outgrow their shoes. How can a 13 y/o wear size men's size 13 shoes AND be one of the shortest in his class? I have a feeling he is about to grow a foot over-night.

I really do like knowing what they are up to. I've seen some things on FB that scares the crap out of me. I'm glad they still like to hang out in my basement and play video games. My oldest girl will have a friend over and they will literally text each other and other friends the whole time, and chat. It seems very odd to me, but it is what it is. That is what they do now. My youngest still plays with dolls and Barbies. Yay.
